Episode 210: Entretien avec l'Historien Mohamed Lazhar Gharbi Le projet « Archives d'histoire orale de la production intellectuelle maghrébine » vise à documenter les trajectoires de vie, les formations intellectuelles et les luttes politiques de plusieurs générations de femmes et d'hommes nord-africains qui ont contribué à la création de la culture écrite et parlée dans cette partie du monde. Les entretiens sont réalisés avec des économistes, planificateurs, nutritionnistes, architectes, sociologues ruraux et d'autres chercheurs algériens, marocains et tunisiens.

In this latest episode of The COSAFA Show, we look ahead to the quarterfinals of the TotalEnergies CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco this week, and glance back at the Region 5 Games that were played in Windhoek.Two of our COSAFA sides have advanced to the knockout rounds of the WAFCON competition, including defending champions South Africa, who face Senegal on Saturday. But before that, Zambia are in action against nine-time winners Nigeria on Friday in what will truly be a test of their championship credentials.We will hear from both of their coaches ahead of the crunch knockout games.Botswana narrowly missed out on a place in the quarterfinals despite a 2-1 win over Tunisia in their final Group B game but leave with their heads held high.We also check in with the victorious South Africa men's coach Vela Khumalo after they lifted the Region 5 Games crown, which served as the COSAFA championship in that age-group this year. Although an Under-20 competition, South Africa triumphed with an Under-17 selection as they prepare for the FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Qatar later this year, making their achievement all the more impressive.

There is no such thing as an easy victory in war but after triumph in Tunisia, the sweeping success of the Sicilian invasion, and with the Italian surrender, the Allies were confident that they would be in Rome before Christmas 1943. And yet it didn't happen. Hitler ordered his forces to dig in and fight for every yard, thus setting the stage for one of the grimmest and most attritional campaigns of the Second World War. James Holland tells the definitive account of this brutal battle in Cassino '44.

US President Donald Trump said Monday on social media that 25-percent tariffs will be imposed on imports from Japan and the Republic of Korea, respectively, beginning Aug 1.纽约-美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一在社交媒体上表示，从8月1日开始，将分别对来自日本和韩国的进口商品征收25%的关税。In his letters addressed to the leaders of the two countries, Trump said the new tariffs will be separate from all other sectoral tariffs.特朗普在致两国领导人的信中表示，新关税将与所有其他部门关税分开。Later on, he announced that similar letters were sent to the leaders of 12 other countries, namely Malaysia, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Myanmar, Laos, Tunisia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina , Cambodia, and Thailand, informing them that tariffs ranging 25 percent to 40 percent will be charged starting next month.随后，他宣布已向马来西亚、哈萨克斯坦、南非、缅甸、老挝、突尼斯、印度尼西亚、孟加拉国、塞尔维亚、波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那（波黑）、柬埔寨和泰国等12个国家的领导人发出类似信函，通知他们将从下个月开始征收25%至40%的关税。The tariffs rate on Malaysia, Kazakhstan and Tunisia will be 25 percent, and it will be 30 percent for South Africa and BiH. Indonesia will face a tariffs rate of 32 percent, and Bangladesh and Serbia will see 35 percent. Tariffs rate on Cambodia and Thailand will be 36 percent, and for Laos and Myanmar it will be as high as 40 percent.马来西亚、哈萨克斯坦和突尼斯的关税税率将为25%，南非和波黑的关税税率为30%。印尼将面临32%的关税，孟加拉国和塞尔维亚将面临35%的关税。柬埔寨和泰国的关税将为36%，老挝和缅甸的关税将高达40%。In the almost identical letters, Trump asked leaders of these countries to understand that the tariffs rates number "is far less than what is needed to eliminate the Trade Deficit disparity we have with your Country."在几乎相同的信件中，特朗普要求这些国家的领导人明白，关税率数字“远低于消除我们与贵国贸易逆差差距所需的数字”Trump warned that if these countries raise their tariffs in response, the United States will increase its tariffs by the same amount.特朗普警告说，如果这些国家提高关税作为回应，美国将以相同的幅度提高关税。He said that there will be no tariff if these countries or their companies decide to build or manufacture products within the United States, and that "in fact, we will do everything possible to get approvals quickly, professionally, and routinely -- In other words, in a matter of weeks."他说，如果这些国家或其公司决定在美国境内生产或制造产品，将不会征收关税，“事实上，我们将尽一切可能快速、专业和常规地获得批准——换句话说，在几周内。”He also said that "if you wish to open your heretofore closed Trading Markets to the United States, and eliminate your Tariff, and Non Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers, we will, perhaps, consider an adjustment to this letter."他还说，“如果你想向美国开放迄今为止关闭的贸易市场，消除关税、非关税、政策和贸易壁垒，我们也许会考虑调整这封信。”White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday afternoon that Trump plans to issue an executive order to extend the pause on "reciprocal tariffs" from July 9 to Aug 1.白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特周一下午表示，特朗普计划发布一项行政命令，将暂停“互惠关税”的时间从7月9日延长至8月1日。"So, the reciprocal tariff rate or these new rates that will be provided in this correspondence to these foreign leaders will be going out the door within the next month or deals will be made," said Leavitt.莱维特说：“因此，在给这些外国领导人的信件中提供的互惠关税税率或这些新税率将在下个月内出台，否则将达成协议。”。On Wednesday, Trump said that the United States had struck a trade deal with Vietnam that includes a 20-percent tariff on the Southeast Asian country's exports to the United States.周三，特朗普表示，美国与越南达成了一项贸易协议，其中包括对这个东南亚国家对美国的出口征收20%的关税。reciprocal tariffsn.互惠关税/rɪˈsɪprəkl ˈtærɪfs/sectoral tariffs.n.部门关税/ˈsɛktərəl ˈtærɪfs/

The award-winning author of a new book has spoken to FRANCE 24 about how it is the voices and hearing the chatter of his characters that inspires him to write.

In the book they spend 35 years trying to break the curse "Everything you love, you will lose". He spoke to us in Perspective.

Palestine Deep Dive's Ahmed Alnaouq talks to UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese about the legality of Israel's interception of the flotilla bound for Gaza. Albanese says Israel's actions are totally illegal and that it is obliged to immediately release the activists and return the vessel. The Madleen was a UK-flagged ship and Albanese called on the British government to take its responsibility for the activists it held and pressure Israel to abide by international law. But she went further saying that, now the flotilla has been intercepted, the navies of every nation in the Mediterranean, mentioning specifically France, Italy, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and Spain should be sent to Gaza to break the siege.

In this special archival episode, I speak with actor and musician Anthony Forrest, best known to Star Wars fans for playing the sandtrooper who famously waved Obi-Wan and Luke past an Imperial checkpoint with the words: “These aren't the droids we're looking for.” Originally recorded over a decade ago, this conversation explores Forrest's original casting as “Fixer” in the cut Tosche Station scenes, his time filming in Tunisia, and how George Lucas unexpectedly tapped him to suit up as a trooper. Anthony also reflects on working alongside Alec Guinness, the skepticism among the British crew, and the surreal experience of flying home with champagne and Star Wars stickers courtesy of Sir Alec himself. Beyond Star Wars, we also discuss Anthony's career in music, his time busking in the London Underground, and his low-budget feature The Ballad of Bob's Garage.  Listen in for rarely heard stories from behind the mask.

In Tunisia, operations to dismantle migrant camps in the olive groves of Sfax, in the east of the country, have been gathering pace since April. According to National Guard figures, between 20,000 and 30,000 migrants from sub-Saharan Africa had been living in these makeshift camps. But is this strategy effective, and at what human cost? Our correspondents Lilia Blaise and Hamdi Tlili report.

**Today's Halacha is dedicated f or the refuah and haslacha of Ronnie, Sharon, Eli and all the children of CARE** If a person is unsure whether or not he counted a day of the Omer, and cannot determine conclusively if he had counted or if he had missed that day, he continues counting the Omer each night with a Beracha. This is the explicit ruling of the Shulhan Aruch. However, this Halacha applies only in cases of general uncertainty whether or not a day of counting was missed. But if a person knows for certain that he did not count one night, and is unsure whether or not he counted during the next day, then he continues counting without a Beracha. This is the ruling of the Erech Ha'shulhan (Rabbi Yishak Taib, Tunisia, 1786-1828). Since he knows with certainty that he had not counted at night, he may not count with a Beracha unless he knows for certain that he counted during the next day. If a person knows for certain that he counted, but is unsure whether he counted the correct number, as he suspects that he might have counted incorrectly, he may continue counting with a Beracha. This is the ruling of Hacham Ovadia Yosef in Hazon Ovadia – Hilchot Yom Tob (p. 238). If one did not count the Omer until the end of the night, and he is unsure whether he counted while it was still nighttime or whether it was already the beginning of the next day, he continues counting with a Beracha. This is the ruling of the Maharash Engel (5:48).

Episode 202: Moorish Refugees in the Early Modern Mediterranean In this podcast, Andrew Russo, Ph.D. candidate in History at the University of Rochester, discusses his current project on the Morisco community in early modern Morocco, Tunisia, and Sicily. Russo outlines current trends in the historiography of the Moriscos, including a focus on local sources and records that illuminate the broad range of identities arriving in North Africa. Presenting several of these sources, Russo compares Morisco communities arriving in Morocco and Tunisia as well as how interactions with local religious and political authorities affected their experiences. Russo describes how certain writers of the time shaped narratives of Morisco identity and concludes by highlighting sources in Tunisia, including many in Spanish. Andrew Russo is a scholar of mobility, migration, and diaspora. He graduated from the State University of New York in Brockport with a MA degree in Global History, and now lives in Rabat, Morocco.
